Mr. Speaker, our reform was also for the benefit of women, because it modified the system, which had been based on the number of weeks worked. We brought in one based on the number of hours worked, which benefits part-timers, who are very often women.
Other elements of our reform are also extremely helpful to women. For example, they now have a far stronger attachment to the work force, and can take far greater advantage of active measures to help them return to work than in the past.
